Annie and Buster Fang have spent most of their adult lives trying to distance themselves from their famous artist parents, Caleb and Camille. But when a bad economy and a few bad personal decisions converge, the two siblings have nowhere to turn but their family home.

5.0 The Family Fang
Another excellent Biblioracle recommendation. A quirky family, a light tone that gets serious without you ever even noticing it, a fun construction within the novel, and a distinct reminder of why it is that I read. I laughed, I gasped, I even teared up a little. It's the sort of book you want to...
